SWR zone juristriction also looks funny. From Chamarajanagar upto Hubli (excl) along with branch lines of Hassan-Mangaluru, Kadur-CMGR, Birur-Talaguppa and Chikjajur-Rayadurga (excl) is with Mysore divn. How can you expect justice from a person sitting in Mysuru to know such vast area and assess their requirements? Mysuru divn should be re-aligned properly reallocating areas to Hubli and SBC divisions.
Similar case with SBC divn. From Salem outer upto Dharmavaram Outer and upto JTJ excl and upto Mysuru excl is with SBC. No justice can be expected from SBC, as they would be concentrating only about Bengaluru.
Better...
more... not to talk about Hubli divn. Though they have compact area for their operation, they are not doing any justice to the public. Neglect, neglect and more neglect.
It is a shame that we do not have daily SWR train from Bengaluru and Mysuru to Mumbai.
It is again shame that though we live in a era of empowered legal tools, we have HMRDC agreement which prevents running of passenger trains between Hassan and Mangaluru.
It is a shame that we take things lightly and travel in Multi Axle Volvo rather than taking up with Railway authorities, who are plenty in our state (One state, 5 zones, many blunders!!).
